Design, News : Summer 10 encompus gives to the Haiti Poster Project
Friday, June 18th, 2010Marc Hedges designed a poster for The Haiti Poster Project, launched locally in January 2010 to help victims of the earthquake in Haiti. The donations are driven by designer participation on a international scale. Each participent creates and produces a limited edition poster, signed and numbered in quantities of 25 to 100. The donated posters, on sale now, are sold online in aid of Doctors Without Borders. Apart from the charitable resources the poster project generates, it provides designers with a creative outlet in which they can convey important messages and increase social awareness.
Marc’s uplifting design features a ‘Tap Tap Bus’ with hand rendered typography and focuses on the bond formed among the people of Haiti during the tragedy. The Haitian motto ‘Unity Creates Strength’ (English translation) reinforces the concept, Haitians helping Haitians. “The decorative nature of a Haitian bus made this the perfect vehicle to illustrate the message – Haiti will Prevail!”
